Hello,

At the moment I am developing some kind of tool to call (spawn/exec)
other commands (using swap of memory) in MS-DOS.

In order not to disturb the screen by messages from the called program
I use redirection of stdout.

	e.g. 'dir > \it.txt'

I encountered a problem when this called program writes something to
stderr. These messages are not redirected to the file, but corrupt the
screen display and confuse the ignorant user.

So I want to do something like under UNIX command-line :

	ls > /dev/null    2>&1

or redirecting the stderr in the calling program to stdout (which I
think would be the best), but I don't know how to do this.

	void main() 
	{
		......... 			// Some code
		
		fclose(stderr); 		// I know this does not work,
					// but the intention is closing the stderr for the next prog.
		spawnv(P_WAIT, .........) ; 	// Call the programm

		freopen(stderr), 		// Does not work either, but reopen the stderr
is
					// needed for its own messages.
		........... 			// Some error detection from spawn
	}

If someone could shine some light on this, I would be very gratefull !
